LOTD: Maroon Eyes, Messy Bun, Floral Outfit

Hey everyone!

Today I wanted to do something a little bit different that usual. I incorporated the shimmery white mineral eyeshadow I got from this month's glam bag and maroon shade from the CoverGirl Eyeshadow Quad in Drama Eyes. 

And since the outfit is so busy with floral prints, I keep the makeup minimal . 

I also used a couple of beauty items that hold really important role in today's look. I got both a couple years back, and I hated them before. It's sort of like a rediscover for me. 

The Body Shop Stick Concealer in 03 --> amazing coverage! I didn't use foundation and it seems that this stuff gives coverage I need to conceal sun spots and acne scars.

Skin Food Apple Can Multi Blusher --> Love this blush. The color is buildable, and it gives you just the perfect amount of blush you want just by tapping the puffy puff provided. (love that - puffy puff =P ) It smells amazing and the packaging is so cute! 

All the products I used except for the mineral eyeshadow and my lip products. I forgot to include them in the picture. Oops!

  From left to right:

> Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes Mascara

> The Face Shop Pencil Eyeliner in black

> The Body Shop Concealer Stick in 03

> Skin Food Apple Can Multi Blusher

> e.l.f eyelash curler

> ecotools powder brush

> Physicians' Formula Happy Booster Powder

Messy bun is so in right now, for some reason. Maybe it's because of the hot weather or maybe it's because people are getting lazy to style their hair. Either way, messy bun can look cute when you purposely make it messy and style it however you like. 

kisses!

MyGlam Bag ✦August 2012

I just got MyGlam bag in the mail today. I think I skipped a month and didn't post MyGlam bag in July. The theme is pretty similar, summer-y products. I love how the card in this month's bag features Michelle Phan's drawing. She is truly an artist! For those who don't know who Michelle Phan is, she is the most subscribed beauty guru on Youtube. She also founded Fawn, Inc. and MyGlam.com. She also one of Lancome spokesperson/makeup artist. In such a young age, she is really successful doing what she loves. 

Dream, Believe & Make it happen!

What's inside this month's glam bag:

♥ Circus Nail polish in Spectacle

This nail polish will launch in the Fall. It's not for sale yet, but I already got 2 different shades from the MyGlam subscription. This is nail polish by one of the youtube beauty guru who also works together with Michelle Phan. You can check her out at Andrea's Choice.

 ♥ eclos Cellular Activator Facial Serum

 ♥ eclos Moisture Therapy Regenerative Cream

I've never heard of this brand before. They use plant stem cells extract from a rare Swiss apple that is believed to have tremendous ability to stimulate skin stem cell, encouraging aging skin to behave like younger skin.

 ♥Demeter Roll-on perfume oil in dragon fruit

♥Salty Cosmetics Mineral Eyeshadow in Glama-Zoid

Again, I've never heard of these two brands before. But I guess that's the idea of this monthly subscription which allows us to try new things including brands that we didn't even know existed. The perfume smells nice. As for the mineral eyeshadow, I must say the packaging makes the product look cheap. It's a loose mineral which is blended by hand, said the website.  The color I got is a shimmery white shade, which might be good for highlight or a little pop of glam. 

♥MyGlam Glam Gloss 

 This one is an added bonus.
 I got a card which says that the MyGlam team gives this glam gloss as a thank you. It's pretty cool.

Thank you for reading! 

Don't forget to subscribe and make my day =)

Eventful July

It's been a very eventful month for me. So many exciting things happening. 

First, one of my friends finally got married after more than 5 years together. 

I was so excited and happy for them. 

Too bad I couldn't be there to celebrate with them because the wedding was in Jakarta. 

I notice that 'tis the season for weddings! I have been watching Down the Aisle with Chriselle on her youtube channel (Check out her latest episode here). She covers from the wedding preps to the prewed photo shoots to the shopping for bridesmaids'e dresses and the wedding dress. It makes me start imagine of how mine would be like. A girl gotta dream what a a girl gotta dream! =P

Chriselle with her fiance - thechrisellefactor.com

My friend, Mary Jo, who is also the mother of Verity from my last blog post, just gave birth to her second child! It was happening so fast. She gave birth at around 9 am on July 31. Just the night before, we had the last hoorah before the baby came by watching Batman: The Dark Knight Rises at the movie. I waited to watch this movie because she told me that once her parents came, she could go to the movie and had them take care of her daughter at home. She and her husband hadn't gone to the movie for more than 2 years. Wow! I am really happy for them, and may God bless their new chapter in life and other upcoming chapters that are yet to come. 

Congratulations Mama and Baby Z!

Yay to floppy hat! =D

Learned to make these wrap bracelets. They're not perfect, but they're cute!

Finally, we watched Brave last Saturday. It was surprisingly a really short movie for me. It wasn't as good as I expected it to be, but the details of each scene blew me away as Pixar always does. 

Love this bow necklace from Forever 21. They also have it in mint and pink. I picked the black one because I think it's more versatile, even though I really wanted to have the pink one. 

Just a little manicure trick I learned. 

Painted a glittery polish only to the tips of your nails. 

It looks like you just dip your nails in glitter. Cute! 

My baby hit 40k miles!

I've been swimming and my skin get tanner and tanner. I think it looks more healthy and glowy =)

I'm still in the market for job opportunity. Let's hope for the best.

I have also been watching Agnes Monica a lot on youtube. I watch her success and fame. She is such a great role model. Dream, believe, and make it happen!

How was your July like?

LOTD: Hi-Lo Dress

Hey friends!

Happy Saturday! I am always in a good mood when weekend comes. Hehe. I have nothing special planned, but Saturday is the day that I get to spend time with my friends or just hang around at home all day without feeling guilty. 

Today, I feel a little bit dressing-up.

I'm totally in love with the dress I picked up from Target a couple of days ago.

I've been eyeing a hi-lo dress for quite some time now, and I finally found this one on sale. 

It was the only on the rack, it was also my size. So I was thrilled. 

Hi-Lo dress is basically a dress that has higher hemline at the front and lower at the back. It's actually a little bit too long for my taste. I am 5' 2". 

But if I pair it with some heels, I'm good to go. =)
